Because the TeX structure required to build the maximabook is not an
assumption the build process should make. Building Maxima is a
separate problem from building the manual. It may be people already
have a copy of the manual or don't want to use it. I suppose a
--build-documentation toggle could be added and requirements checked
for, but I don't know if its needed.
